DESK-TABLE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 16, 1909.

Application filed December 29, 1906, Serial No. 350,020. Renewed December 28,1908. Serial No. 469,661.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CHRISTIAN H. HABER- KORN, a citizen of the United States of America, residing at Detroit, in the county of Wayne and State of Michigan, have invented. certain new and useful Improvements in Desk-Tables, of which the following is a s eciication, reference being had therein to tie accompanying drawings.

The invention relates to desk tables, and consists in the construction as hereinafter set forth.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a vertical section with the desk drawn; and Fig. 2 is an enlarged cross section substantially on line x-x, Fig. 1.

A is the table top, which is provided with side and rear rails B, and is mounted on the legs C.

D is the tank section, which is slidingly secured beneath the top A, and consists of a drawer having a front rail E, side rails Il", and a top G, a ortion I-I of which is hinged, and abottom In order to obtain the necessary width of the desk top, it is necessary to provide extension slides, which permit of its being drawn substantially its full length. In the present construction these extension slides are arranged beneath the bottom I of the desk section, and are in engagement with complementary guides on said section and upon the main table section.

In detail J are guides secured to opposite sides of the desk section D, and K are guides extending between a front rail Ii and the rear rail B of the main table section. These guides are grooved, preferably with dovetail grooves, and M are extension slides fitting in the grooves. The guides J, K and slide M are secured from disengagement by pins N and O respectively engaging the desk section and the table section, and extending into engagement with grooves P and Qin the upper and lower sides of the slides M. These grooves P and Q, are substantially one-half the length of the slide, and thus only permit a relative movement of one-half the length of the slide in relation to each of the desk and table sections. rIhis will furnish a `firm supporting connection for the desk, even where the latter is withdrawn from beneath the table top, practically its entire length.

What I claim as my invention is:

1. The combination with a table section having a stationary top, of a desk section normally arranged beneath said top, a front rail and a rear rail on said table section, guides on said table section extending from said front rail to the rear rail, guides on the bottom of said desk section, intermediate extension slides of uniform thickness throughout their length in dovetail engagement with the guides of said table section and the guides of said desk section, said slides having grooves in their upper and lower' faces extending substantially one-half their length, and pins removably secured respectively to the guides of said table section and the guides of said desk section and projecting into engagement with the grooves in said extension slides.

2. The combination with a table having a stationary top, of a desk section normally arranged beneath said top, superposed guides beneath said desk section, intermediate extension slides in dovetail engagement with said superposed guides, and having grooves in their upper and lower faces extending substantially one-half their length, and pins secured respectively to said superposed guides and projecting into engagement with the grooves in said extension s ides.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
